How and when is a Warning message displayed:

Warning messages notify the user when the fixture is approaching a condition that may cause problems or when special attention is required during operation or service.

Warning codes remain on the display until the condition is cleared.

If multiple warnings are present, each is shown for 3 seconds in sequence, then the cycle repeats. 

If the display is inactive, warnings are not shown; the orange blinking LED indicates a warning.
